Not sure how widely this has been publicised, so apologies if it's old news! It looks an interesting project (apologies for the formatting)
CILIP in London Monthly Evening Meeting: Libraries as Learning Centres
Organisation: CILIP in London
Date: 13 May 2008
Event venue: The Sekforde Arms, Sekforde Street, London EC1.
Map
Time: 6.30pm
Cost: Free
Description: Speaker: Ann Wolfe, MLA London
MLA London is running a 12-month pilot study in five boroughs to test the effectiveness of libraries as locations for skills learning. The project, Skilled for Health, is a joint government-voluntary sector initiative to reduce health inequalities. It uses health as an incentive for adults wishing to improve their well-being, whilst improving literacy, language or numeracy skills. An extensive set of teaching materials has been developed. Ann Wolfe will relate her experiences in running the pilot project, which ends shortly, and discuss its implications for libraries as learning centres.
Ann joined MLA London in May 2007 as Skilled for Health Development Worker after many years in the voluntary sector, both supporting people with mental health problems and as a Human Rights Campaigner.
This talk will be of particular value to anyone registered for CILIP Chartership and can contribute towards CPD requirements.
CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a professional interest in the topic. Refreshments will be available afterwards.
